Huge amount of storage space w/fast USB v3.0 interface. Only owned for a short time, but so far so good. Unit will go into a sleep state after some time (5-mins or so), so it saves on power. Hopefully it doesn't die on me - would hate to lose that much data!

Western Digital - easystore 14TB is reliable and affordable as all other easystore models. Just plug and play. Will purchase more as needed

At the time of purchase it was cheaper to buy this external than the internal equivelent. If you dont mind voiding your warranty, easy enough to open and retrieve hard drive for internal. Better performance than usb. Price is now really up on all drives.

Pretty good, lots of space for the price. A little loud sometimes but not too ba

Been wanting External Hard Drive this will hold a lot. Good sustained speed So far I am very satisfied with this one. Thinking about getting another one if to have a good sale on it like I got this one for. Hope it will last a long time.

I love these hard drives! I use them to backup all of my data. I have multiple because I transfer tapes. They fit perfectly in my NAS system

This is a great backup drive. I was able to consolidate multiple device backups onto this drive because it holds 14 terabytes.

No issues. Easy to set up and has decent transfer speeds if you keep everything connected through USB 3.0. Using this to consolidate all my data in a nice neat package and then backup to a proper NAS in the near future. Will then use this to sync data with my main PC.

Bought two of these to include in a RAID 5 Array for my Plex server. They are easy to shuck and do not require the SATA power modification that has been required on some drives in the past. Overall, great drive at a great price.

Shucked six of these to use in NAS storage, excellent budget option for large arrays

I got this to replace a different Western Digital external HDD model . The old one was a hermetically sealed plastic brick. Plastic doesn't conduct heat very well, so I guess the previous drive died from excessive heat. Its twin is still going strong. Its pretty bad when your backup dies, so you need to have a couple of backups, just in case. This drive holds the platters vertically, which I would think is better than horizontally like the previous drive. It also has vents, to let the hot air escape out the top, and cooling air enter at the bottom. Set up was a snap. It was plug and play with Windows 7. I deleted the software that came on the drive. I use SyncToy (from Micro$oft) to backup my data. I don't do a lot of accessing of this drive, so data transfer rate isn't a big deal. I seem to see about 18 MBytes/Sec using USB 2.0 My laptop doesn't do USB 3.0) It spins down after some length of idle time, but wakes up pretty quickly. The computer sleeps every night, but I don't have to do anything special to wake it up. 117 people found this helpful

Nice to have lots of storage space. I connected this to the USB port on my mesh router. I can access it from any of my computers. I have media stored on it as well as backup directories for my desktop. I used to have a four-bay network appliance. But this stores more.

Got it on sale for $189.99 USD. This baby is outstanding in high speed performance since it came out off the box. It seems to be quiet not to loud unlike some reviews on the Website. I had so many Sea Gate hard drives from Costco but they are not as good as my new WD.

Easy set up for my imac. Great deal on a ton of storage.

The WD easystore 14tb external drive is a very nice drive. so far great write and read speeds over USB. The Disk management software isn't as bad and bloaty as it used to be. I highly recommend this for backing up day to day data.

Performs well and does what it is supposed to do. I would recommend this product.

Ive had this same brand for well over 12 yrs. Loved it. (AKA BIG UGLY)Never had any problems out of it. Was time for an upgrade. Love this one. Its a little smaller. But why change products when you have a good thing!

Very happy with me new WD Easy store 14TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive. I use Carbonite on my Win10 BEAST of a Desktop PC, to automatically backup data to the cloud for offsite storage. I also use automated software to backup (nightly incremental) my internal drives to this new drive daily to have a physical backup at in case internal drives fail. I am a power user, Adobe CS, Adobe Premier, DLSR photographer, database developer and collector of games and software. 14TB is not as big as it used to be! +Good price per TB. +Easy to setup, was already formatted for Windows. +Came with a power supply and USB 3.0 cable.

Plenty of storage, this is used as a back up drive for my photos. I have a second one that is my main photo storage drive, but I wanted 2 copies so this worked out fine. I have had plenty of WD hard drives over the years and I have been very happy with them
